Tech Tips
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the air fuel ratio sensor Click here.
| *a | Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length |
Using SST, install the air fuel ratio sensor to the exhaust manifold.
Note
If the air fuel ratio sensor has been struck or dropped, replace it.
Tech Tips
Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench Click here.
When using SST (fulcrum length of 30 mm (1.18 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 260 mm (10.2 in.)): 39 N*m (398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf)
Connect the air fuel ratio sensor connector.
Engage the 3 wire harness clamps.
INSTALL NO. 1 EXHAUST MANIFOLD HEAT INSULATOR
Install the No. 1 exhaust manifold heat insulator to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) with the 4 bolts.
INSTALL INLET AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY
Install the inlet air cleaner assembly with the 2 bolts.
INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the 2 compression springs.
| Minimum Free Length | 40.5 mm (1.59 in.) |
If the free length is less than the minimum, replace the compression spring.
Temporarily install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Wooden Block |
Using a plastic hammer and wooden block, tap in the exhaust pipe gasket until its surface is flush with the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst).
Note
Be careful with the installation direction of the gasket.
Do not reuse the gasket.
Do not damage the gasket.
Do not push in the gasket by using the exhaust pipe when connecting it.
Install a new exhaust pipe gasket to the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst).
Connect the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust pipe support.
Install the front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) to the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and center exhaust pipe assembly with the 2 compression springs, 2 bolts and 2 nuts.
Tech Tips
After installation, check that the space between the flanges of the exhaust manifold converter sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) and front exhaust pipe assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) is consistent front-to-rear and left-to-right.
| *1 | Exhaust Manifold Converter Sub-assembly (TWC: Front Catalyst) |
| *2 | Front Exhaust Pipe Assembly (TWC: Rear Catalyst) |
| *3 | Exhaust Pipe Gasket |
| *a | Space between Flanges: 8.5 mm (0.335 in.) |
Connect the heated oxygen sensor connector.
